Piko 96386 electric locomotive ET41 PKP IV Product Details

Description

Novelty 2023: Print version of the ET41 PKP in the design of Era IV. The PIKO ET 41 embodies, like the large prototype, a clear, functionally reliable and low-maintenance design. As a double locomotive, the PIKO model consists of a vehicle segment with drive and a segment without drive. Thanks to the powerful motor with two precisely balanced flywheels and the cardan shaft drives on the two two-axle bogies, the PIKO ET 41 has very balanced running characteristics. The high dead weight in combination with the diagonal traction tires of the axles running on the inside of the driven bogies ensures prototypically high tractive forces. As the four axles of the non-powered segment are also used for current pick-up and both segments are connected via a current-carrying close coupler, the model has an exceptionally safe current pick-up over a total of 16 wheels. The model is prepared for digital operation and sound retrofitting. Switching to overhead line operation is possible as a special feature.
